Baker is apparently over his intercostal strain but is now looking for a new job. The 34-year-old has hit only .208/.288/.375 this season, but he's been a big weapon versus lefties in the past so someone figures to take a shot on him. Fri, Jul 31, 2015 02:40:00 PM

Marlins placed 1B Jeff Baker on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive of July 8, with a left intercostal strain.

Baker left Tuesday's contest with the Red Sox after suffering the oblique injury. He also strained his right oblique earlier in the season. The Marlins have not announced any sort of timetable for his return at this point. Fri, Jul 10, 2015 02:33:00 PM

Jeff Baker exited Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox with a left oblique injury.

The Marlins are calling him day-to-day for now, but it's an ailment that usually leads to a disabled list stint. It's worth noting, though, that Baker strained his other oblique earlier this season and didn't go on the DL. Tue, Jul 7, 2015 07:54:00 PM

Baker was getting the start at second base in place of Dee Gordon (hamstring). He left the game in the fourth after hitting a double off Madison Bumgarner. Donovan Solano has come on to take his place. Gordon is expected to be back in the lineup tomorrow so Baker probably wouldn't have played Sunday anyway. Sat, May 9, 2015 11:27:00 PM

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Wei-Yin Chen (elbow) is not expected to be ready for Opening Day.

Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill suggested last week that Chen could have a spot in the club's Opening Day rotation, but Mattingly pumped the brakes on that idea on the first official day of spring training. Chen has been trying to rehab a partial tear of the UCL in his left elbow, rather than undergo Tommy John surgery. He's due $10 million in 2018 plus an $8 million deferred bonus. Chen also carries a $20 million guarantee in 2019 and a $22 million guarantee in 2020. Derek Jeter couldn't shed this albatross.
